I Heard about Yma Sumac for first time few years ago, while I was on Peru, in a holiday trip. I have friends in Lima and they invite me to see a teather opera called Yma Sumac. At first time I thought that the story was about a Indian women in Peru, but while the opera passing I got that she was been the most famous singer in the Peruvian history and at the same time an international success in the music.
Her real mane was Zoila Augusta Emperatriz Chavarri del Castillo (nice name, doesn’t?), she born in Callao, the Lima`s Port in 1922 and was a very popular soprano in the fifties, She sung over the biggest theaters and stages in USA, Canada, Latin-American and URSS even. Her vocal register was amazing, she could get very hight and low notes. Her repertory contained opera`s classic pieces and folk songs of latinamerica.
She died in 2008 in Los Angeles , She had been diagnoside whit cancer.

mchacon Dear Hector, here are my corrections: for the first time a few years ago (you need article the, because it is a specific time and a few, because you can count the years)...was in Peru (when ever you write about a city, town, country you are in it = inside)review the prepositions I sent you!....they invited me(past event)...At first I thought...an indian woman...while the opera went on I realised that she had been the most famous Peruvian singer in their history...in music not in the music, unless you meant to write in the music business, world, industry, ect....nice name, isn' it?...she was born (past simple = fact)...Lima's port not the lima's (here the idea is a general one not a specific one. If you want to make it sound specific you need to rearrange your idea)...she (this pronoun doen't need to be high cased like I)...sung in the biggest not over... Check your spelling!!! I will not correct spelling!only grammar!!! Good work, hope you keep on improving and that you realise why you made those mistakes!Keep trying!
